Numerous computing technologies which affect a person's lifestyle are shown in the movie, and many are realistic or potential future technologies.
Bluetooth phone earpieces appear in the movie, and seem to be a more compact version of the Bluetooth devices currently for use alongside smart phones [1]. While the film does not spend much time discussing or showing how these devices work, they appear to be purely used for voice communication and seem to be a reasonable advancement in existing technology.
Smart homes as shown in the movies do not yet exist, but it seems reasonable for them to exist in the future. The smart homes in the movies demonstrate several features modern smart homes lack such as a personal AI to control the house's various utilities, however these features all seem like they could realistically be developed and incorporated into smart homes. Modern smart homes have security, temperature, lighting controls, and more digitally controlled [2].
Electric wheelchairs similar to what Grey uses to move around after being paralyzed in the movie and an existing technology. While modern wheelchairs may not be as capable as the one shown in the film the differences are minor and likely to disappear in the future.
Smart or see-through displays are also realistic emerging technology. Currently there are displays which can become completely transparent at the press of a button [3]. Additionally virtual or projected keyboards also exist [4]. These two technologies are not widespread or commonly available but this is likely because they are relatively new and have their own issues compared to normal displays or keyboards, though these issues were not shown in the film.
Self-driving cars like shown in the movie are a futuristic technology. While self-driving cars do exist they are not trusted to be on the road with human drivers in most cases and many are not fully autonomous [5]. With advancements in sensors and AI it is entirely possible in the future we will see cars similar to what was shown in the film.
